The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1648 1648: Kneel

As Jing Yanʼs voice fell, the atmosphere in the surrounding space became increasingly tense.

”What a big mouth for such a little rascal! Disrespectful to me? Iʼd like to see what makes you think you can be disrespectful to me.” Jin Yudiao had never regarded Jing Yan as worth his attention.

Even if Jing Yan is a Heavenly Venerate Martial Artist of the Human Clan, so what? With Jin Yudiaoʼs prowess, even when encountering the strongest Heavenly Venerate of the Human Clan, he could still ensure his own safety.

Jin Yudiao clearly did not consider Jing Yan to be among the strongest of the Heavenly Venerates.

In fact, he had been long wanting to make a move against Jing Yan, but had hesitated solely out of respect for Bai Xue. Deep down, he didnʼt want Bai Xue to harbor strong resentment towards him. And now, that this kid named Jing Yan seemed to want to make the first move, it perfectly suited Jin Yudiaoʼs intentions.

He was eager for Jing Yan to make a move against him so he could retaliate, and thus have a reasonable excuse even if he were to kill Jing Yan. Or he might cripple the boy, leaving him worse than dead.

”Mr. Jing Yan, you are a friend of the Young Master, and thus considered a guest. I shouldnʼt say too much about your behavior. However, that is with the understanding that you donʼt disturb the other guests of Nu Zhen Mansion. Lord Jin Yudiao is a respected guest at our Nu Zhen Mansion, so please restrain yourself a little.” The maid in the red dress, however, accused Jing Yan at this time.

The maid in the red dress was completely siding with Jin Yudiao.

”Red Dress, what are you doing?” Bai Xue scolded the maid.

”Young Master, I donʼt understand what you mean.” The maid addressed Bai Xue, her name was indeed called Red Dress.

Bai Xue, though the Young Master of Nu Zhen Mansion, was usually respected by these servants. However, no matter how respectful they are, they cannot compare to Lady Nu Zhen.

Jing Yan was merely a friend of Young Master Bai Xue, whereas Jin Yudiao was a junior highly regarded by Lady Nu Zhen, and he also had an incredibly powerful master, Jin Haiwang. All of this made Red Dress more inclined to stand by Jin Yudiaoʼs side.

Also, she had noticed some connections between Jing Yan and Bai Xue, but she didnʼt believe Jing Yan was worthy of Young Master Bai Xue. If the Young Master were with Lord Jin Yudiao, that would be more suitable.

Of course, there were also some personal reasons, as it could be said that within Nu Zhen Mansion, the majority of maids adored Jin Yudiao. This affection was not romantic, but due to Jin Yudiaoʼs generous nature; after coming to Nu Zhen Mansion, he would give each maid a gift, and a very precious one at that.

Who doesnʼt like a generous guest?

”Jing Yan, letʼs go!” Bai Xue took a deep look at Red Dress, then said to Jing Yan, not wanting to stay here any longer.

”Young Master, the master has instructed you to entertain Lord Jin Yudiao.” Red Dress lowered her head and loudly reiterated.

”You...” Bai Xue was genuinely a bit angry inside.

”Kid, get lost quickly. Want to pursue Bai Xue? First, see if you have the capability.” Jin Yudiao shouted at Jing Yan, trying to provoke Jing Yan further and make him take action.

”Where did this wild kid come from, daring to be rude to my master!” A loud exclamation came through.

Subsequently, Mo Kuʼs figure appeared.

Mo Ku had always been with Jing Yan, staying at Nu Zhen Mansion. Seeing someone act disrespectfully toward Jing Yan, he certainly rushed over immediately.

Mo Kuʼs appearance naturally drew Jin Yudiaoʼs gaze.

He did not recognize Mo Ku.

Based on Mo Kuʼs words, he should be acquainted with this Jing Yan, and Mo Ku mentioned ʼmy master,ʼ indicating that this dark-skinned guy was likely a servant of Jing Yan.

Jin Yudiao stared at the just-appeared Mo Ku.

”When did Nu Zhen Mansion become so chaotic, letting any riffraff in?” Jin Yudiao remarked sarcastically.

He hadnʼt taken even a glance at Lian Jing Yan, let alone one of Jing Yanʼs servants.

”Jing Yan kid, quickly take your dog and scram. Otherwise, if I kill your old dog, donʼt blame me!” Jin Yudiao said in a threatening tone.

Acting directly on Jing Yan gave him some concern. But dealing with one of Jing Yanʼs servants, he had no qualms about. Even if he killed Jing Yanʼs servant, he believed Bai Xue would not get angry over it.

”Master, where did this little bastard come from with such foul language? Should I let him know not everyone is someone he can offend?” Mo Ku asked Jing Yan.

Mo Ku, after all, was an ancestor of the Sky Demon Clan, created personally by the Primordial Chaos Hole Ancestor. Being called a dog by a kid, how could he not be angry? Of course, he didnʼt act directly, seeking Jing Yanʼs approval first.

”Hmm, a little lesson is fine, just donʼt kill him.” Jing Yan nodded.

”Hahaha... Truly laughable!”

”Teach me a lesson? An old dog wanting to teach me a lesson? Isnʼt he worried about sticking out his tongue too far! Right now, Iʼll skin this old dog!” Jin Yudiao was already extremely angry.

He initiated an attack on Mo Ku.

With strength comparable to the First Tier Heavenly Venerate of the Human Clan, this move made heaven and earth change color, with immense energy fluctuations sweeping out.

In the space of Nu Zhen Mansion under Jin Yudiaoʼs Divine Sword attack, a series of bright lines appeared. These bright lines did not restrict Jin Yudiaoʼs attack, only limiting his power to a certain range, preventing the energy fluctuations he released from spreading outward.

”Ignorant child, take this palm of mine!” Mo Ku fixed his eyes, as if he hadnʼt even noticed the energy fluctuations Jin Yudiao had unleashed. He casually waved his hand, and a black palm seal condensed and appeared.

The power of Mo Kuʼs palm seal was similarly confined within a certain range, not affecting further out.

The attack Jin Yudiao performed, upon touching Mo Kuʼs black palm seal, shuddered violently and then inexorably dissipated. Mo Kuʼs black palm seal, after dispersing Jin Yudiaoʼs attack, seemed unchanged, quickly pressing towards Jin Yudiao.

Before the black palm seal even touched Jin Yudiao, his face changed dramatically, followed by his knees bending, bringing him to his knees.

It wasnʼt a conscious act of kneeling, but something beyond his control. The oppressive energy in the surrounding space was terrifyingly overwhelming, which he simply could not withstand. This force did not directly attack his body but instead forced him to kneel.

If Mo Ku wanted to kill Jin Yudiao, that single palm would have been more than enough. Mo Ku, being at a Chaotic Supreme level, faced zero difficulty dealing with a Jin Yudiao. Yet, Mo Ku also understood that Jin Yudiaoʼs status was not simple, and killing him might bring considerable trouble to both Jing Yan and himself. Jing Yan had previously instructed not to kill Jin Yudiao.
